Stolen mail tied to Spokane ID theft scheme

An
investigation into stolen mail
led detectives to an identity theft scheme allegedly orchestrated by a
Spokane
woman they say
was “kind of relieved” when she was arrested.

“She dw.ckltold
us we were good,” SpokaneCounty sheriff’s
Detective Dean MeyerÖ said of the
suspect, Jacquelyn A. CrawfordÖ. “She just
began injecting methamphetamine, so in way she was thankful she was
caught.”

Crawford,
40, and Charlene M.
HaggardÖ, 42, are
accused of stealing mail and prowling cars, then creating bogus checks
with
pilfered bank account numbers that were passed at stores throughout SpokaneCounty
and in North Idaho. The women allegedly
used
driver’s licenses stolen along with the check information to complete
the
scheme.
